IMPORTANT: I ran into 2 problems with this:
1. Some files showed up, others didn't. No idea why.
2. After changing the booktype back to book (2), the disappeared files still didn't show. I had to recreate my Kindle directory. No idea why the files stopped showing up in the Kindle.

Suggestions:
1. Back up everything before doing this.
2. Treat this as experimental.

When you do this, all files will now have the .mobi extension. .prc files don't show up anymore when you do this to them, so they have to be renamed to mobi (part of the one line below, no extra step). The file itself is left unchanged. The line below takes care of azw, prc, and mobi at the same time.

Process:

1. Make a folder inside the Kindle's documents folder and put in there all the books you want in that folder.

5. Double click renamer.cmd to run it, wait a while depending on # of books.

Result:

When you go to your Kindle, you will a book entry called Folder Name and clicking on it will bring you to a listing of your files to the right of the Kindle. The file names will become the titles shown on the Kindle (minus the file extensions).

If you are on XP create a folder on your c:\ Drive somewhere... to hold your mobi2perl exes. Copy the mobiperl exes into that folder. Then click on your start menu, right click on "my computer" and choose properties. A dialog will open. Click on the advanced tab. Then at the bottom of that tab click on the "Environmental Variables" button.

You will see two lists boxes, one at the top for "User" variables and one at the bottom for "ssytem" variables. You want to add a PATH variable to your top list. It probably isn't there yet. So, click the New...button under the top list. Type in "PATH" for the variable name and the full path to the folder you created above in the value, like "c:\Program Files\mobi2perl" (don't type the quotes of course.)

Save that... click ok buttons until the System PRoperties dialog is closed.

Now that you have done this you should be able to run the exe's in that folder from anywere on your machine.

Or you can just open a CMD window and type PATH. This will show you where the machine looks for commands and just place the mobi2perl.exe in any one of those folders. I have a path specifically set up to place commands like this. They can all go in the same folder.

Yep... that will work... if you want to put those files in some system folder or other apps folder.

Well, two folders were created beautifully but three folders refuse to appear. I've done the EXACT same thing to ALL files, and only two folders are cooperating. I cannot figure it out. The books themselves ceased to appear also (so something IS being changed, but no idea why it refuses to show the other folders).
